The variety of lily textures and shapes make it one of the most popular flower types, and the diversity of colour patterns is thanks to their hybridization over time. They can be one solid colour, or they can feature spots that become more numerous toward the centre of the flower. Some lily hybrids are even more striking in colour, with the two parts contrasting one another. On some flowers, the outer part is light and the inner part is darker, or vice versa.

The following are four popular divisions of the lily flower.

Longiflorum: These lilies are more commonly used as cut flowers rather than as garden flowers since they tend not to be as hardy as other lilies. Typically these lilies are white trumpet-shaped flowers, often used in wedding bouquets.

Oriental: These flowers are also popular as cut flowers. They come in a variety of colours, although one of the most well-known versions of the oriental lily is one with a white and pink combination, sometimes freckled with dark-coloured spots.

Martagon: These hybrids are an interesting type of lily whose flowers actually face downward. Because these blooms can thrive in areas with a moderate amount of shade, they are often grown in wooded areas of a garden. It can take some time for them to become established, but once they do, they can flourish for years.

Asiatic: These lilies are probably the easiest to grow, and of all the classifications of lilies, they are also the most diverse in colour, ranging from white or light pink to deep plum colours.
